• The decision to participate in other shootouts and tournaments will be left up to each team’s coach and parents.

• 1-2 teams per grade level. 7-8 players per team. 1 head coach and 1 assistant coach per grade level. We strive to make travel basketball available to as many players as possible. In order to accomplish this goal, we need volunteer coaches. If we have enough interest, we will need coaches for the 2nd team in each grade level.
